..We describe the organization of the 4R chromosomal segments of the proto-ray-finned fish karyotype in Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout based upon their comparative syntenies with two model species of 3R ray-finned fishes...

Comprehensive analysis of MHC class I genes from the U-, S-, and Z-lineages in Atlantic salmon

..A pseudolocus for Sasa-UCA was identified in the nonclassical IB region. Both regions contained genes for antigen presentation, as wells as orthologues to other genes residing in the human MHC region...

Comparative genomic analysis of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, from Europe and North America

..The identification and characterization of the functional TCRgamma 1 along with the associated TCR alpha/delta locus suggest that Atlantic salmon have a functional gammadelta T-cell immune component...

..A microarray is described, containing 7356 salmonid elements representing 3557 different cDNAs. Analyses of cross-species hybridizations to this cDNA microarray indicate that this resource may be used for studies involving all salmonids...

..Although the function of these factors in sexual differentiation have been defined, their roles in early development before sexual fate decisions and in tissues beyond the brain or gonad are essentially unknown...

Genomic organization and evolution of the Atlantic salmon hemoglobin repertoire

..Our results highlight the importance of using more than one approach to identify candidate genes, particularly when examining a complicated trait such as UTT in a highly complex genome for which there is no reference genome...

..This report provides evidence for local regulation by various morphogens and their potential to control distinct programs of gene expression in the gametes and their accessory cells during gametogenesis...

The genomic sequence of the bovine T cell receptor gamma TRG loci and localization of the TRGC5 cassette

..The location of the TRGC5 cassette is conclusively described in 5' of the TRG1 locus. Analysis of 17 TRGV belonging to 10 different subgroups, 8 TRGJ and 6 TRGC genes is conducted which comprises the most comprehensive list to date...

Comparative analysis of the paired immunoglobulin-like receptor (PILR) locus in six mammalian genomes: duplication, conversion, and the birth of new genes

..We also report unequivocal evidence for expression of the transcripts that encode the common glycoprotein alpha, LH beta, FSH beta, thyroid-stimulating hormone beta, and retinol-binding protein in both the ovary and testis of trout...

Divergent immunity and energetic programs in the gills of migratory and resident Oncorhynchus mykiss

..The analysis of data from several independent protein-protein interaction studies in mammals, combined with functional studies of its Arabidopsis ortholog, SERRATE, suggests that this essential process is related to RNA metabolism...

Microarray analysis reveals differences in expression of cell surface and extracellular matrix components during development of the trout ovary and testis
